Lauriston Girls' School

At Lauriston Girls’ School, we teach girls to be intrepid, ask questions and 'give everything a go'. We work collaboratively with parents, students, staff and education leaders to ensure that we provide students with choice, guidance and solid outcomes to secure bright and exciting futures.

Students begin their Lauriston journey with a curriculum that focuses on literacy and numeracy as well as specialist and enrichment programs, including the study of Mandarin. From Prep, students also enjoy access to Lauriston’s differentiated learning program which ensures each student progresses at a rate best for her.

As students progress to the higher levels of Junior School they are encouraged to view the world from a broader perspective. Lauriston’s Year 3–6 girls investigate cultures beyond their own and develop the ability to understand issues from different viewpoints.

All students in the Junior School are given the chance to take on a leadership role; in Year 2, this might be leading assemblies or mentoring other students. In Year 6, every girl is part of a leadership group and takes an active role in the school. From guiding prospective families on school tours to organising morning sports and activities, each girl has an impact to make.
